THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER

Dear Members,

Hope a lot of you can be with us for the KENTUCKY SEMINARI

on August 4th. Plan your vacation to come this way.

DIRECTIONS for out-of-towners: Follow Interstate 240toward the east (toward Nashville), and leave the interstateat the Poplar West Exit (Exit No.' 11). Holiday Inn I 240 isjust west of Interstate 240 at this point, and visible fromthe highway.

Some of you with children can't do as much field work in thesummer, so this is a good time to do your homework. Fromletters We get, this is an often neglecited area. I'm amazedat how many people write, "So-and-so was born in PodunkCounty in 1802" when that county had not been formed at thattime.

Study up on the counties you are working in. Be sure toknow when and from what it was formed. Read a history of it.Study maps with water courses and pinpoint where your familylived. This is particularly valuable if there was more thanone person with the same name. "Homework" will often helpsolve problems. Certainly, it will make your research easierand more interesting.

Happy Hunting,

Mrs. Henry Norfleet Moore,President

She would appreciate genealogists' assisting her by noting and sending toher the designs etc. in cemeteries they visit. With reference to design, she says,"The cemetery offers many kinds of folk traditions: for example, the extensiverepertoire of carved designs on the stones -- willows, lambs, pointing hands,clasped hands, gates of heaven, ••••Although many of these designs were transmittedfrom carver to carver •..• , strong regional styles often developed ••.•The motifsthemselves often have a long history of their own. The willow motif, for example,began as a symbol of unrequited love in 16th century English poetry, but thespecies we call "weeping' was not brought to Europe until the 18th century. Itquickly became a mourning symbol on gravestones throughout England and America, inthe company of a weeping woman and a draped monument •••As the design came into usein the Midwest, however, the stonecarver discarded the other elements, enlarged thewillow and endowed it with the additional symbolism of the Tree of Life. It wouldbe fascinating to trace this design through the rest of the countty •••• "

Devices are listed alphabetically in the index, each followed by itsmotto, the page on which details will be found, and the name of the person or familywith which the device is associated. Historians and archeologists who wish to dateand identify artifacts, literary historians, and artists will also be delighted withthat part of this book which deals with heraldic study relative to their fields.

Excerpts FromHISTORICAL ADDRESS BY COL. JOHN A. GARDNER,

Or The Early Times In Weakley County, Giving A SynopsisOf The Scenes And Incidents For The Past Fifty Years

Delivered at Dresden, Tennessee, July 4, 1876

Contributed by Wilena Roberts Bejach (Mrs. Lois D.)Excerpts Selected by the Editor

PIONEER SETTLERS

The settlement of West Tennessee may be said to have commenced about theyear 1819. Of course there were a few scattering settlements here beforethat time. The first settlers around Dresden were John Terrill, PerryVincent, Dr. Jubilee Rogers, Benjamin Bondurant, Richard Porter, Jeptha andAlfred Gardner, Robert Powell, and a little later Nelson Nailling. VincentRust, Claiborne Stone, Thomas Parham, John H. Reavis and others.

Vincent Rust, I am informed by Dr. I. C. Reavis, made thE! first hogsheadof tobacco, in 1835, ever grown in this county, which was sold to R. C.Williams for five dollars per hundred, and hauled to Mills' Point, nowHickman, Kentucky, by Dr. Reavis, in 1836. Mr. George W. Martin tells methat he thinks that his father, Captain William Martin, brought the firsttobacco seed to the county, and was the first settler who engaged in growingthis crop. He thinks this was as early as 1832 or 1833. This is aninteresting fact in view of the great importance the tobacco culture has sinceattained to in this county.

Among the early settlers on Cane cr~ek, northeast of Dresden, in thevicinity of what is now Palmersville, were Levi Mizell, Joseph Wilson,John Webb, and a few others, who were here before the county was organized.Then came the Ridgeways, Buckleys, Ki1lebrews and Kilgores.

Of the early settlers in the northeast corner of the county between theMiddle Fork of the Obion and the Kentucky line, my esteemed friend, John F.Cavitt, Esq., to whose kindness I am indebted for my information in referenceto this section of the county, was among the earliest. He settled there onthe 20th of March, 1820, before any crop had been made in that part of thecounty. Henry and John Stevenson and Isaac and William Willingham hadpreceded him a short time, and each family had erected a cabin to live in,when he arrived. John Rogers moved in with Squire Cavitt. Soon afterwardsother immigrants arrived -- namely, Jesse B. Davis, Peter Williams, Masco (1)Austin, Littleton F. Abernathy, and Benjamin Farmer -- the latter of whomsettled on Knob creek, and was the third Constable in that district. Of myold friend, Ben Farmer, some very amusing anecdotes were told. It is saidthat soon after he was elected Constable, having an execution in his handswhich he wished to levy on a cow and calf, that he ran down the cow, andrubbed the execution upon her, as the only legal and valid manner of levyingit, and being unable to catch the calf, he shook the execution at it, andsaid, "you, too, calfy."

Samuel McGowan, a Baptist clergyman of Henry county, was the first ministerof the Gospel who preached to these adventurous pioneers. Dr. McMorrison wastheir first physician.

In 1830 John Cook settled on the Kentucky side of the line, about onehalf mile west of Boydsville, put up a small stock of goods and got a postoffice established. Cook died, and Blythe put up a store a half mile east

-80·

of Boydsvi11e, and had the post-office there. In the spring of 1832, AbnerBoyd, the father of Captain A. M. Boyd, became interested with Blythe inhis store. Soon after they dissolved partnership, and Boyd settled at thepresent site of Boydsvi11e, and laid off the town. Within a few months thevillage was doing a good deal of business in the way of trade, and soonbecame celebrated for shooting-matches, cock-fights, horse-racing and othergames; and fisticuffs.

John Huggins was the first, L. F. Abernathy the second, and Ben Farmer thethird Constable in this district. Joseph Wilson and John Webb were the firstMagistrates. When the district was divided, Wm. Wester and John F. Cavittwere chosen the first Magistrates of the new district. Wester served only ashort time, and was succeeded by Alexander W. Sprout.

I come now to the northwest corner of the county. Among the earliestsettlers in this part of the county was Alexander Paschall, of Carroll county,North Carolina, a noble specimen of industry and honesty from the old NorthState, who came here about the year 1824. He was followed, from Madisoncounty, Alabama, in 1830, by his son, Jesse M. Paschall, Esq., the father ofDr. G. W. Paschall, of Fulton, Kentucky, to whom I am indebted for these facts,and much other important information. In building a heavy hewed log h01use,with two rooms, in which Squire Paschall raised his large family, he had toinvite his neighbors twelve miles in every direction. He got thirty-twohands, who were two days doing the work, with all their energies highly'stimulated by the use of eight gallons of Whisky. The earlier settlers inthat part of the county were Daniel Lasswell and his three sons, Daniel,Joseph and Peter; Samuel Majors, John and George Horton and Peter Mooney.Some of the later settlers on Richland creek were Reuben and King Clark,Berry Chambers, Snow, Atkins (1), and Stanleys. James Ashly, Bassett A.Beadles and James Drew, in the order in which they are here named, were thefirst Constables of this district. John Horton was one of the first Magistrates.He was succeeded by J. M. Paschall, who served eighteen years ••••••••••••••

For the information and amusement of the young ladies and g~ntlemen of thepresent refined and polished generation, I will relate ••••• anecdote, forwhich, I am indebted to Dr. Paschall. In the early days of which I havebeen speaking, our ancestors lived in huts and cabins, constructed of rough,unhewn logs. These rude primitive structures were generally floorless,except the earth. They used what was then known as the Forked Deer bedstead,made with but one post, with two augur holes in it, to receivetwo pieces of timber extending in different directions to cracks in the wallof the house. Resting on a log of the wall, at one end, and on one of thepieces inserted in the post, at the other, clapboards were spread out, inthe place of modern slats or springs, on which the straw bed was laid. Underthese beds, on-the ground, their scanty supply of corn and pumpkins werestored. The pumpkins were used as seats, and when a young man visited a girlto court her, she would rollout a pumpkin for him to sit upon. If it wasflat and comfortable, he at once knew he was in favor and would be accepted;but if it was sharp and uneasy, he knew his doom, and discontinued his visits.

On Mud creek, about eight miles west of Dresden, in 1819, our cleverfellow-citizen, yet living, Reuben Edmandson, now President of this meeting,and his father-in-law, Mr. Glasgow, settled at a very early day. DudleyGlass, Sr., Levi Clark and Israel Jones, were also early settlers in thesame direction. Between Mud creek and the Middle Fork, were Owens, theParrishes, the Tansils, Thomas Etheridge, the father of the Hon. EmersonEtheridge, A. Clemens, J. W. Rogers and John Jenkins. Between the Middle andSouth Forks, among the early settlers were Duke Cantrell, M. H. G. Williams,

Wm. Hillis, Alfred Bethel, F. A. Kemp, Calloway Hardin. A little higher upthe river, were Robert Mosely, E. D. Dickson, James Hornbeak, John and GetonBradshaw and Richard Drewry. The civil district extended from the junctionof the rivers up to the meridian line and Spring creek. E. D. Dickson wasone of the First Magistrates, and Jonathan Fowler, constable. GilbertPatterson, Esq., an old and highly respected citizen, settled near whereGreenfield is now, in 1836, and yet resides there. To him I am indebted forvaluable information.

In the southeastern part of the county, and on upper Spring creek, livedThomas Osborne, Andy Denning, John Brawner. Isaac Crews, the McE1roys,McLuskeys and Rogers, and Robert and Jonathan M. Gilbert, the latter ofwhom is now living in Paris, Capt. James and Alfred Smith, and WilliamHamilton, all three are yet living. Also, Ned Bucy, Francis Liddle', Johno. Neal, and Jim Kennedy. McElroy was the first Constable. Isaac Crewswas one of the first Magistrates. Capt. Smith and Wm. Hamilton setlt1ed nearwhere they now live, in 1824. Mr. Hamilton tells me he raised his first cornon unfenced land. He says it was not troubled by domestic, but very muchdestroyed by wild animals. Tilghman Johnson, one of our oldest and bestcitizens, who now lives in that neighborhood, came to this country in 1819,and, as a chain carrier, assisted in running the Range and Section lines.He first settled near McLemoresville, afterwards Carroll county.

On Thompson's creek, some of the early settlers were John Thomas, DanielCampbell, Sam Morgan, Elijah Stanley, Daniel Shaw's father, Wm. Gay, JohnH. Moore, Haydon E. Wells and Samuel Peeples, who is yet living at Gardner.On Lower Cypress, Capt. Job Rogers, E. P. Latham, Carney, the McLeans, theShultz, the Smarts and the Damrons, settled. On upper Cypress, theThompsons, Thomas Ross, Mr. Brann, and others. Near Dukedom, were the Cashion,the Winstead and the Beadle families. My information is meagre in respect tothis part of the county ..•..•.

EARLY HABITS··MANNER OF LIVING, ETC.

The style of living, of the early settlers, was exceedingly plain andprimitive •••• There were no stores, nor saw-mills in the country. They oftenhad to go twenty or thirty miles to a grist-mill. Lumbrick's Mill, on OldTown creek, about thirteen miles from Dresden, on the dirt road to Paris,~all the grinding for the early settlers •••••••The early supply of salt wasbrought from "Mill's Point", on horseback, when there were only four menthere - John Hanna, George Marr, and Bush & Drobblebres, two Dutchmen •••••••••As the wild animals were destroyed, or driven out, the stock of the countryincreased very rapidly ••••My brother, Dr. Richard W. Gardner, from 1828 to1835, frequently owned as many as 1,500 head of hogs, ranging at large •••••

PRICE OF LANDS, OCCUPANTS, ETC.

Much of the best lands in this country were entered by North CarolinaMilitary land warrants, and was owned, in large bodies, by non-residents ofthe State. Much of it had descended to the hairs of the soldier or speculator,who were anxious to sell. The best of these old grants sold at from $1.50 to$3.00 per acre. And these low prices continued, with but little change, untilabout the year 1847. There was also a great deal of vacant land in the"Western District," ••••. belonging to the Federal Government made subject to"occupant" entry, by the law of the State, on proof of actual settlement ••••First settlers generally settled on this vacant land. It was from 20 to 25years before they obtained their titles.
